My Love Bug Family Childcare, was created with the idea of helping home stay moms. As a mother I understand that running errands can be difficult when we have kids. I was reflected in that situation as a mother, and not having family around made it a little bit more difficult, so that's when I decide to open a in home daycare for drops in, to help the mothers around the time that they need to run their errands. Before I decide to become a childcare provider, I was a nanny for several years. I gained the experience base on working with kids, toddles and babies. In the process of getting my License through the state and all the paperwork that requires to open a daycare, I realized that the area where we live is expanding and need for childcare serices is high, so from there I took the decision to do full time and part time as well as drop ins.

We are a high quality licensed, Lic# 073408496, home daycare for children between ages 0 to 5 years old, located in El Sobrante, nestled in a quiet neighborhood. We recognize the different areas of child development and our practice is based on child development theory. Children have different learning pace, and they all learn through different activities, and interactions. We provide a foundation for each child to ensure successful growth in all areas of development such as physical, emotional, social, behavioral, and intellectual. The learning and growth process mostly happen through interactions and different activities. Some of the activities we provide are: arts and crafts, care play, building blocks, reading books, puzzles, singing and dancing, playing with toys, playing outdoors and many more. We make sure that each individual child's needs are met. We encourage and guide children to use their abilities to do problem solving. At Lobat Family Daycare, we have variety of toys, puzzles, books, building blocks and art/craft materials. Some of our activities include, reading books, telling stories, care play, singing and dancing, paintings, making crafts and many more. One of Lobat Family Daycare roles is to make sure that the children receive care, love, attention and that their needs are met. The children are encouraged to do age appropriate activities and chores independently, according to their abilities. They have time to play, learn, and relax. They are encouraged to have routines through snack, lunch, nap, and play time. Having routine brings them security and happiness. They learn to know their different feelings, become able to verbalize them, and learn how to manage them. Our emphasis during the toddler years is on building self-confidence and fostering the natural curiosity that toddlers possess. Each child is loved, cared for, and safe. By creating a loving, caring and secure environment, Lobat Family Daycare helps infants to develop and grow to their full potential. Infants' eating, sleeping and playing schedule is based on each individual child. Through providing stimulating programs, we help development of infants' gross and fine motor skills, language, and curiosity. Your child will have a positive experience at Lobat Family Daycare.

ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS ARE PART-TIME, either 2 or 3 days per week, with specific schedules listed below. At Broadway Children's School, our play-based programs reflect the belief that every child is unique and special, and we nurture and encourage that sense of individuality so that each child will develop within his or her own framework. In a caring and playful environment, we work to help each child develop competency in the social, emotional, intellectual, creative selves that make the whole child. We combine child-centered learning with parent enrichment, cultivating a committed community that offers families a bedrock of support, knowledge-sharing and friendship. We strive to serve a school community that reflects and celebrates the unique and beautiful diversity of the East Bay. It is a wonderful place to learn and grow together! Our indoor space is broken up into many diverse learning spaces for children to explore, and many activities (art, sensory activities, play sets, and pretend play) vary by day. Our large outdoor yard includes play structures, a bike path (with bikes and scooters), a playhouse, a sand area, a jumping tire, and other rotating activities such as a water table, extra large building blocks, tunnels, etc. Students must generally be the age indicated by September 1. The regular school year runs from late August to early June. (Annual tuition amounts listed are for the regular school year programs.) We also offer a Summer School program for current students, usually for five weeks during the summer.
